Hypocrisy

[seedofvengeance]

OK, I want to buy a Hypocrisy CD, but don't know which album.
Suggestions?

 

[The Ozzman]

In before Zeph and CC

 

[Bothering]

YOu didn't make a recommendation...so it doesn't count.

 

[The Ozzman]

Oh okay.

For straightforward DM, the first 'Osculumn Obscenum' and 'Penetralia'. For melodeath, the self titled, virus, fourth dimension, or even the arrival.

 

[Zephyrus]

In before Zeph and CC

Their best are Abducted, Virus and Hypocrisy. All are top notch atmospheric melodic death metal.

However, if you prefer a more old school death metal sound, pick up their first two albums, Penetralia and Osculum Obscenum. Think traditional Swedish death metal with Florida influences.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You could also check out the band Zonaria who are VERY OBVIOUSLY Hypocrisy worship.

 

[Taylor]

Definitely the selt-titled. That is such a killer record.

 

[Skepticism]

First 2

Abducted is probably the best, but the S/T and the Final Chapter are very good. Virus is decent and probably the heaviest of the melodic death stuff (pretty much everything but Catch-22 and the first two)

 

[seedofvengeance]

Thanks to all of you.
I decided to get the second one (can't remember how to spell the title).
I'm more into death metal, and it was cheaper, so that was my choice. I'll probably end up with most of the others when it's all said and done anyways.

 

[Zephyrus]

Osculum Obscenum is an excellent choice. You'll like the Venom and Slayer covers.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Oddly, I'm not that big of a Slayer fan save a few songs and the Reign In Blood album. I know that's metal blasphemy, but a voice can make or break a band for me, and I can't stand the vocals for Slayer.
As for Venom, I've just begun to listen to them and I like everything I've heard.

 

[Seditious]

it depends what you like

Pentralia for that old skool death metal style
Hypocrisy for slower more doom/epic melodic death metal
Virus for something heavy and fast
Abducted if you just like DM/MDM in general

but there are wicked songs on all the albums, s'why I hate 'album' recommends of great bands... you miss so much

 

[CF87]

Abducted. I really enjoy The Arrival. 'The Departure' is an incredible song. I wish The Fourth Dimension had better production.

If you like old school death metal check out Penetralia which
is an underrated classic.

 

[cookiecutter]

Didn't you hate Hypocrisy?

 

[Psychonaut]

Their best are Abducted, Virus and Hypocrisy.

Zeph speaks truth.

 

[Seditious]

I'd like this band a lot more if they did more songs like 'Apocalypse'

I love their mid/slow-tempo songs. they have a lot of songs like Apocalypse...

All Turns Black
Deathrow (No Regrets)
Disconnected Magnetic Corridors
Elastic Inverted Visions
Living to Die

Paled Empty Sphere

The Departure
The Fourth Dimension
Until The End

Don't forget The Abyss.

Didn't you hate Hypocrisy?

Yeah. I thought Hypocrisy sucked until hearing penetralia and gave some other albums a listen. I originally heard Catch 22 first.
